Covid cases starting to plateau, or decline, in Western Washington
Health officials in Pierce County say their Covid case rates have dropped this week, for the first time since March.
Data shows that the seven-day case rate plateaued last week. But officials still warn that the numbers are much higher than they were just three months ago. Hospitalizations are expected to continue to rise statewide.
King County's case rate has also declined over the past week. Its hospitalization rate also dropped by 5%.
Snohomish County's cases are also showing a decline.
